EDIT1: I will update you with what version I have.

EDIT2: Getting 90 with Version 3.0.4 (523.15)

Seems it is an older version than yours. How do you get version 3.1?

I happened to go to Wikipedia's Safari page and checked out the Win32 portion, and saw the 3.1 stuff, and the references on the bottom of the page had two links to 3.1 builds there.

What you do is unzip the webkit nightly and then open the run-nightly-webkit application. It will update automatically then!

Anyways... I updated you with my version and I am getting 90/100!

Yeah, I figured that out, updated it for me (and ran Safari with a terminal window, spooky!) and Safari runs faster than the original 3.1 build! Amazing. I think Safari will be my default browser when it hits 3.1 final.

Ahh ok. Even I might keep it my default browser. It runs really fast on Windows Vista.

Any idea on how to save the tabs or create sessions?

Here's the link just in case it gets edited out.

Will try this one right now.

Nice. But the browser crashes if the preference box is opened. :/

It saves everything you were looking at when it closes (or crashes in the case of the Windows version), when you start it back up there's a "Reopen all windows from last session" menu item in the History menu.

And running WebKit is a temporary thing, if you quit and start it up as normal you will be running the normal WebKit version.

who cares about Acid anyways... Only developers should be "worry" about...

In the end we "see" what the developers code so, at least in a lesser level, we all should care. The most browsers that are standard compliant the faster the developers can adopt new techologies that we are going to enjoy.

Yes. Mine also sometimes crashes when it closes and thanks... I found the reopen all windows item in the history menu.

What do you mean by if you quit and start it up as normal you will be running the normal webkit version? How do I run it as normal in the first place?

Through the normal shortcuts, It only loads the new engine if you run it via the "run-nightly-webkit" app.

Damn. Is there a work around this to make it run through the shortcut on the desktop? and not always through the run-nightly-webkit...

Also when running the run-nightly-webkit... it still says it is the old build in the about?

I'd just change the shortcut to use the run-nightly-webkit app.

Version numbers and Safari/WebKit is kinda odd, normal Safari on my PC is "3.0.4 (523.15)", on my Mac (latest nightly) it's "3.0.4 (5523.15)", It's it's 5000 higher than released version, which isn't right.

It's nice to see that firefox is making daily progress.... Will any browser get 100/100.... since not all the requirements may be for the best.... just a guess.

Sure web browsers will hit 100/100, It's just testing compliance with the specifications (and people want them to implement the specifications)

A proper (X)HTML+SMIL profile implementation gets rid of all those JS animation frameworks.

    • Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.

      It's interesting to hear that AI growth is not investor driven.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By OblivionSHO · Posted

      A few weeks ago, I had this same exact issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think of disabling the Secure Boot option in BIOS. I updated my BIOS to the latest version for my MB and it resolved the issue.
    • USB Port Optimization for best locations for devices

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      I have a partial answer, when I used a multi-port usb hub I had degraded speed performance with 3 large external hard drives connected (all having their own power supply). I managed to snag a nice (yet older) USB3 based wavelink docking station cheap / used that has x6 usb 3 ports and almost doubled the speed of the external hard drives transfer rate. This looks to be a slightly upgraded model -https://ebay.io/m/LZtjTy
